Researchers have found that a metabolite released from gut bacteria contributes to cognitive decline by influencing gene expression in the brain’s resident immune cells.
A new study (Science Translational Medicine) suggests a link between microbiota, microbial metabolites and the maintenance of specific immune cells.
Researchers have found that the gut microbiota could contribute to liver function through the transfer of bacterial sphingolipids to the host’s liver.
A new clinical trial indicates that Bifidobacterium strains can accelerate microbiota maturation, with positive immunological effects in premature babies.
New research suggests that a combination of human milk-derived sugars and the probiotic Bifidobacterium infantis could help manipulate the gut microbiota in ways that may offer therapeutic benefits.
If maternal-child microbial seeding improves health outcomes, it may be a public health strategy that could reduce the prevalence of C-section-associated diseases.
New research highlights how microbial signatures could be used to prevent necrotizing enterocolitis, leading to faster diagnosis.
New research provides new insights into host-microbiota genetic interactions, shedding light on the role of human genetics on gut microbes.
A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe highlights the association of fibers with the microbiota.
Recurrent UTIs are in part caused by alterations of the gut microbiota and different immune response to bacterial bladder colonization.
